Malaysian Day in Abu Dhabi
This post was meant to be posted last week, but due to some circumstances..like, being lazy is one of them, so I end up posting it today.
We were invited by a friend of mine to attend the celebration, but when I told her that I wasn't even register with the embassy, she just said to me, just come over. It's for all Malaysian...and of course I did asked her, is there any foods involve? Silly me, of course there is (are).
Well, thank you Jamaliah for mentioning this event to me..
What is Malaysian Day? Before this, I never knew about this day. And that's for being away for the past 14 yrs. What is the different between a Malaysian Day and Independent Day, celebrated on the 31st of August? Let us ask Mr. Wikipedia.
Malaysia Day is held on September 16 every year to commemorate the establishment of the Malaysian federation on the same date in 1963. It marked the joining together of Malaya, North Borneo, Sarawak, and Singapore to form Malaysia. The formation of the new federation was planned to occur on June 1, 1963, but was later postponed to August 31, 1963, in order to coincide with the sixth Hari Merdeka. Several issues related to the Indonesian and the Filipino objection to the formation of Malaysia delayed the declaration to September 16 of the same year. The postponement was also done to allow the United Nations team time to conduct referendums in North Borneo (now Sabah) and Sarawak regarding the two states participation in a new federation.[1]
The formation of Malaysia was made possible through the introduction of the Malaysia Bill to the Malayan Parliament on July 9, 1963, and consent from the Yang di-Pertuan Agong on August 29, 1963.[1]
Prior to the formation of Malaysia, Sarawak gained its independence on July 22, 1963, while Singapore and North Borneo (which was renamed Sabah) unilaterally declared independence from the United Kingdom on August 31, 1963, thus coinciding with the sixth anniversary of the Malayan independence.
Beginning in 2010, September 16 is a federal public holiday.[2]
